Cased Miniature Colt U.S. Government Model Semi-Automatic Pistol Lot #403 (Sale Order 403 of 925) Cased Miniature Colt U.S. Government Model Semi-Automatic Pistol
The 1/3 Scale Miniature firearm concept was originally pioneered by the late Raymond Hutchens from Indianapolis during the 1970s and the tradition was carried on by Leon E. Crottet from Switzerland. In the 1980s several of these pistols were further copied by expert machinists that were successful in producing almost identical to those early pistols but not to the level of detail and complexity of the early pistols. This is one of those examples and regardless of the manufacturer, this is still a fantastic example of the "Machinist Art" that very, very few people can duplicate today. This example is a Colt U.S. Government Model semi-automatic pistol complete in a walnut case with purple velvet lining, three dummy rounds, a key for the case, empty 1/3 scale box of 50 caliber 45 M1911 Winchester Repeating Arms Company bullets and 1/3 scale manual. The pistol itself is approximately 4 1/4" long, from the front of the barrel to the end of the grip safety and each and every part is correctly shaped, and contoured to match the originals perfectly right down to the spring loaded trigger. The pistol itself is fully functional (except for firing) and can be disassembled just like an original. Even the grip safety functions as it should and the magazine is removable. Every detail is exact right down to the lanyard ring on the butt and bottom of the magazine. The markings are exactly as the real thing with the two line, two block patent and address information on the left side of the slide, "UNITED STATES PROPERTY" on the left side of the frame, caliber marking on the right side of the slide and "GOVERNMENT MODEL / No013" on the right side of the frame.

Rare Colt T-12 Espionage Pen Gun in 12mm with Wooden Storage Box Lot #404 (Sale Order 404 of 925) Rare Colt T-12 Espionage Pen Gun in 12mm with Wooden Storage Box
This is a beautiful example of a very interesting and unique Colt T-12 single shot prototype pen gun. It is theorized that weapons of this type might have been developed or employed by early OSS/SOE or later CIA espionage agents. The pen gun functions very much like the current stinger or pen guns that were used through out the cold war only era of the 1950s and 1960s only it's an extremely small or miniaturized version that fires a 12mm cartridge. The overall length of the pen gun is approximately 2 inches and it has a 1/2 inch barrel that unscrews on the front end. As you can imagine it is extremely small and can easily fit into the palm of your hand or ones shirt or pants pocket. The gun functions or fires by unscrewing the barrel loading a single cartridge and then just retracting the cocking knob located on the side of the action which is screwed into the fixed firing pin and either just locking it in to the safety catch or releasing it to fire the cartridge. The body of the pen is machined steel with circular cuts on the front and rear section of the pen to aid in gripping the weapon, with a brass end cap. The side of the pen is marked "COLT T-12". It is housed in a small wooden storage box that measures approximately 2 1/2 X 1 1/2 inches with a white paper label on top that reads ".12 CAL/COLT T-12/US PROPERTY". It has an all blued steel finish that is complete with two brass dummy (non-firing) display cartridges. BBL: 1/2 inch round Stock: Gauge: 12 mm Finish: blue Grips: Serial Number: NSN Condtion: Excellent. Showing no use or firing that we can detect. The wooden storage box is also in excellent condition. Certainly a very interesting and unique, one of a kind or prototype weapon that very little is know about that warrants further research into it's history and development. Estimate: $2000 - $4000 |

This is a nicely restored example of an early production, all matching WWII German MP-40 submachine gun. This is a fully functional weapon as manufactured by the C.G. Haenel company in Suhl German. The Haenel company only started producing the MP-40 SMGs in 1941, consequently this is a first year production model. The company continued to produce these weapons through out WWII as one of the main-stay producers of the MP40 SMGs. The MP-40 was another of the WWII German weapons that was years ahead of the allies in the manufacture of mass-produced weapons.

Unique Left Handed Single Shot Needle Fire Carbine Lot #592 (Sale Order 592 of 925) Unique Left Handed Single Shot Needle Fire Carbine
This is an example of a left handed single shot needle fire breech loading carbine, which is most likely of German origin. The bolt is equipped without a handle and is released by pushing back the locking mechanism on top of the bolt at the rear. Once the bolt is pulled back, the firing pin is cocked and a lever extending the right side of the octagon receiver is released. Pushing the lever down and away from the bolt causes the chamber to swivel upward for loading. Once loaded, the lever is pulled back to close the chamber and then the bolt is pushed forward until locked. Locking the bolt locks the lever so that the chamber is secure in the firing position and leaves the firing pin cocked. The serial number on the upper left barrel flat is the only marking on the rifle. Blade front sight and notch rear sight. Fitted with a left handed straight grip stock with Schnabel forearm, checkered wrist, horn trigger guard, raised cheekpiece on the right side and hard rubber shotgun style buttplate.
